Yeah, but not worse than just "bad", whereas "evilness" sounds worse compared to just "evil."

My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn't exactly speak vernacular either.

So just because something sounds a tad off doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. And in a lot of cases it's the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.
